Subject: Re: Issue when trying to access files on a locked BitLocker volume

There are indeed several workarounds to this issue (this is why I'm not
waiting for a fix), but I thought it was worth mentioning the problem, as I
suspect other incorrect behaviors to be caused by the underlying issue.

Thanks for your answer !
